7. Policy Proposal 2006-6: Bulk WHOIS Agreement Expiration Clarification

When the AC accepted this proposal, they also forwarded it to the ARIN Board for a recommendation from the Board. At the Board’s meeting of May 9, 2006, Bill Woodcock, as the author, suggested he withdraw the proposal from the policy proposal process after ARIN staff has worked with him to resolve the issue. It was the sense of the Board that this is not a public policy matter, and the course of action suggested by Bill Woodcock should be taken.

RP stated that it is now a matter of working out a practice statement, and once Bill is happy with the statement, he will withdraw the proposal.

It was the sense of the AC that no action is required on their part.

8. Policy Proposal Name: Recommended v6 Aggregation Practices

ST moved that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council, having reviewed the proposed policy entitled ‘Recommended v6 Aggregation Practices’, accepts the text as submitted by the author as a formal policy proposal; and, requests the President assign it a formal policy proposal number.”

This was seconded by LR. The Vice Chair asked the AC if they felt aggregation practices belonged in a policy proposal. After lengthy discussion, it was the sense of the AC that aggregation practices did not belong in a policy proposal.

ST suggested amending the motion, and moved that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council does not accept the proposed policy entitled ‘Recommended v6 Aggregation Practices’ as a policy proposal.”

This was seconded by CJA. The motion carried unanimously via roll call.

Vice Chair reiterated that it was the sense of the AC that the proposed policy does not belong in NRPM. RP suggested that one member of the AC provide a statement to accompany the announcement. AR volunteered to do so.

9. Policy Proposal Name: Requirement for Reasonable Contract Terms

Advice of counsel was provided to the AC.

PA moved that:

“The ARIN Advisory Council, having reviewed the proposed policy entitled ‘Requirement for Reasonable Contract Terms’, does not accept the proposal as a formal policy proposal, and recommends that the ARIN President refer the matter to the ARIN Board of Trustees”.

10. Update to Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) Language

The NRPM language needs to be updated due to the implementation of Policy Proposal 2005-1, and 2005-8. ARIN staff will be sending changes to the AC to consider at their next meeting in June.

LR asked RP about removing the other practices issue from the v6 policy. RP stated that the AC needs to have a discussion and decide how to proceed, analyzing the policy in this area, and make a careful determination of practices. Then, the AC can craft a proposal to the community; or, the AC can look at it and refer it to the Board recommending they submit it to the community as a policy proposal matter or remove the practices from the manual.
